INTRODUCTION PLAY NETWORK GAP ANALYSIS November 2020 01 Papakura Local Board OPEN SPACE AND PLAYSPACE CONTEXT OPEN SPACE TYPOLOGIES Auckland Council’s Open Space Provision Policy informs future investment ALFRISTON decisions with the aim of creating a high-quality open space network. Part 2 of this policy outlines a framework for analysing existing and future provision within an MANUREWA established urban area. EAST Key public open space typologies are identified within Part 2 of the Policy with information provided on indicative amenities and provision targets. Open space typologies relevant to this play provision audit include: ARDMORE • Neighbourhood parks • Suburb parks • Destination parks • Civic spaces These typologies are intrinsic to considering the types of activities and supporting TAKANINI amenities provided within each reserve or park. Ultimately, playspaces should provide for anticipated user groups within parks and reserves, though provision of CONIFER play within open spaces is considered independently of the reserves themselves GROVE when assessing play provision at a network level.

PLAYSPACE TYPOLOGIES As play provision and types of experience also need to service context at Neighbourhood, Suburb, and Destination Level (including considering urban PAPAKURA and open space network relationships), the following playspace typologies are RED HILL evaluated and assessed in this report: • Neighbourhood Playspace PAHUREHURE • Suburb Playspace • Destination Playspace • Civic Playspace Individual playspace provision and associated service level is assessed relative to ROSEHILL context, open space function (if applicable) and contribution to wider play network. KARAKA Refer Appendix B for playspace typology definitions including information on standard and specialised play experience provision.

Playspace Catchment / Service Areas OPAHEKE Radial catchment distances have been determined based on a 10-minute average walking distance for neighbourhood playspaces and a 20-minute average walking distance for suburb and destination playspaces, in line with widely-held walkability principles and average pedestrian walking speeds for residential and suburban DRURY areas. Radial distance proxies have been adopted in lieu of defining extensive walking distance ‘pedsheds’. This approach is aimed at providing a high-level informed understanding of geographic provision only, taking into account any physical KARAKA barriers that may affect access and connectivity in walking catchments.

QUANTITY AND DISTRIBUTION PLAY EXPERIENCE PROVISION AGE GROUP PROVISION

A total of 42 council-owned playspaces were visited and analysed within the STANDARD PLAY EXPERIENCES All playspaces provide play experiences for the Early Childhood and Junior age Papakura Local Board area. Playspaces within the study area typically provide climbing / crawling, swinging and groups (0 to 8 years). From a network perspective, there are clear gaps in playspace provision in the Red sliding play experiences as a baseline minimum. There are consistent gaps in: Approximately 90% of playspaces cater to the Senior age group (9-12 years).

As identification of gaps in provision is although the quality and range of experiences varies. important to ensure investment is appropriately directed, so is the identification of SPECIALISED PLAY EXPERIENCES areas where facility over supply is evident. There are wide ranging gaps in specialised play experience provision across the There are some minor instances of over supply in the Papakura East and Conifer Papakura network, including: Grove areas due to the proximity and associated catchment overlap of facilities. Refer Play Network Opportunities on page 19 for recommendations [to be • Water (not present in any playspaces) completed]. • Sound (not present in any playspaces) • Sand (present in 2% of playspaces) • Nature Play (present in 21% of playspaces) • All abilities play items (present in 26% of playspaces) This is again generally symptomatic of limitations associated with legacy equipment and style of implementation. Renewal of older neighbourhood playspaces may also prioritise like-for-like replacement with limited opportunity for integration of specialised play experiences. This study has also identified significant network gaps in non-skate or scooter wheeled play experiences within the Papakura area.
